Solar proposal delayed; company will re‑evaluate before a board presentation
Summary
Staff told the commission the solar developer postponed its CEO’s public forum and will re‑evaluate the application; commissioners said they do not want to speculate about the company’s next steps and emphasized farmland conservation.
Commissioners asked staff for an update on a proposed local solar project. Planning staff said the company emailed to delay a scheduled public presentation and that the developer will re‑evaluate and return when ready.
"They emailed me and said we're gonna wait and readdress some things and reevaluate some things and we'll let you know when we want to bring him back for a public forum," Mr. Richardson said. Commissioners urged caution against speculation and several members reiterated a desire to protect farmland, with one commissioner saying, "we need to be very diligent in conserving our farmland."
